World needs to go Green, than Green needs to go LEED

World needs to go Green, than Green needs to go LEED

In the past decade, the idea of building â??green’ has sprouted globally â?? the so called â??Green revolution’. As years passed by, one could see this revolution gradually turning into one of those temporary trends set up to support marketing of related fields of construction activity. Today, the term â??green’ is certainly abused and misunderstood by most of the engineering empire.

Truthfully, the natural living systems on our planet are the only designs we know of that are triumphant in their sustainability because they relate with the environment in holistic, integrative, and reductive processes. On the contrary, many of the current green building rating systems like LEED are structured to endorse solutions that are in majority additive and encourage consumption over conservation. This is simply because the rating systems are initially conceived to have certain set of sections which cater to sustainability; that are then packed with technologies, systems and products to achieve it. Architects now depend much on these intelligent service systems to make up for their neglect in the basic building design. If buildings are based on a sluggish design process, one would be obviously strained to use the so called â??Green’ or â??intelligent’ engineering methods to supplement it.

It is unfortunate that valuable rating systems such as LEED have converted Architecture into an accounting exercise. This has completely digressed from what could have been a healthy exercise in coming out with truly good architecture. We are missing an opportunity to develop such architecture by allowing these accounting or statistical procedures to dominate our logical thinking and creativity. Targeting maximum LEED points especially in GCC countries require more common sense and deeper understanding of the effect. The potential benefits of solely achieving a certification should not be the motive of the design process.

Needs Home Cleaning Magic? Use Janitorial Cleaning Products

Lemon, baking soda and vinegar are some of the natural cleaning products you can find in your kitchen home. They are stand alone acids that do not require any additives to clean a surface from bacteria and germs. These products are readily available in your cupboard and can be stored for a long time. But there are some Natural Cleaning products that come in cans and bottles that can be twice effective with none of its environmental hazards.

Did you know that Janitorial Cleaning products used in establishments such as hotels, buildings and hospitals have already gone green? They come in organic materials and ingredients that cause less harm in the environment. As strong as they clean, they are effective and cause lesser harm compared to the traditional chemical based cleansers that are offered at a cheap price.

I cannot recommend you to use a lot of lemon, vinegar and baking soda to treat your bacteria problems because they do not come cheap nowadays so going the manufactured, organic based cleaners are the better way to go. Not only it will clean your house but also make it smell nicer than the scent of a clean room with vinegar. Personally, I do not like the smell of vinegar. Its scent is like a stinky armpit that sweated for the whole afternoon but as stinky as vinegar can be, it cleans very well.

I remember my dad uses vinegar to soak our clothes to get rid of the stains of our clothes for 2 hours and right after, he will put loads of soap. He uses that technique in our kitchen marble floors too. It cleans yeah but if you want the package of shine, smell and cleanliness all in one bottle, just like what you see around hotels and big establishments then you should use Janitorial Cleaning Products.
